Goonie Goggles 

noun: a point of view one holds for a movie, tv show or other form of entertainment that you adored as a child, so much so that as an adult, despite reflecting on it and realizing it is sub-par or flawed, you still think of it as excellent.

Conversely, someone who never experienced it as a child and does so for the first time as an adult might think it is awful and not understand why people adore it.

References the 1985 film "The Goonies," a children's movie with numerous technical flaws and editing mistakes, plot holes, terrible child acting and overall nonsense that had an atrocious critical reception but is beloved to adults who watched it as children.
"I just watched "Heathers" for the first time, and I don't understand why you like it. I thought it was stupid. I think you have Goonie Goggles for "Heathers".
